She did look sad since her mom passed away during 2005 nationals. It's a horriable accident...since then she did not have the courage to compete again...maybe coaching is her best career choice for now....Angelar is a great skater...

Angela

Angela has had the injured hand for awhile. When I saw her at 2005 COI backstage, you can tell she was having a hard time signing autographs. Her right hand is badly burned, along with a little bit of her arm. I was suprised that info never came out until Anglea announced she can't compete for awhile. Oh yea, when I saw her, her hand has too much scar tissue and burnt scars on it.

That information did come out. Her Dr absolutely vetoed any skating. Her hand was in such bad shape any type of fall could have crippled it permanently. The last that I heard, she was going in for skin grafts. It wasn't lack of courage at all.
